Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Glazed Doughnuts

You know I can’t stop at just one when I make something that tickles my fancy. The wheels got turning yesterday and before I knew it, the most insane doughnut appeared before my eyes.

This is what you get when you combine a delicious whole wheat doughnut + chocolate chips + mouth-watering cookie dough glaze…

Key words being: Cookie Dough Glaze!

Chocolate Chip Whole Wheat Doughnuts

If chocolate chip cookies were in doughnut form, these are the ones. The cookie dough glaze is like raw cookie dough batter, only silkier, dreamier, more tempting. I can imagine these being served for a birthday dessert because they are a luxurious and rich dessert to celebrate! Be sure to make the cookie dough glaze to go with it (see below)…you won’t be sorry!

2. In a large bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients (milk, Earth Balance, applesauce, vanilla, vinegar). Sift in the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

3. Fold in chocolate chips.

4. Bake for 12 minutes or until doughnuts gently spring back when touched.

5. Meanwhile prepare the cookie dough glaze (below). Remove the doughnut pan from oven and cool in pan for 10 minutes. With a butter knife, carefully remove the doughnuts and place on cooling rack for another 10 minutes.

6. Dip doughnuts into the glaze and serve immediately. Doughnuts keep for 2-3 days. I suggest not putting the glaze on until just before serving.

While the whole wheat doughnuts were baking, I whipped up this easy cookie dough glaze that is so mouth-watering I almost forgot about the doughnuts in the oven.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Glaze

Like raw cookie dough in a glaze form. My goal for this glaze was to take my beloved raw cookie dough and thin it out, while making it even more luxurious and silky at the same time. The outcome was so mouth-watering, I almost jumped for joy when I tasted it.

Stick a few candles in there and you have yourself a fun birthday dessert.

Eric loved these doughnuts so much he jokingly suggested I sell the recipe to Tim Horton’s or Dunkin Donuts. ;) I’m not sure if they could handle all this vegan goodness, but I know you guys can!

Blendtec Giveaway Winner!

A huge congratulations to Kayla! You are the lucky random winner of the amazing Blendtec machine.

Kayla wrote, "Oh my. So many comments already! But I really need a blender as I can’t afford one and I love the taste of green monsters! I want to have them everyday it’s just a matter of getting a blender for myself.."

I have emailed Kayla this morning to collect information and I will ship this out ASAP. Thanks to everyone for participating and making this the biggest giveaway ever on Oh She Glows!

The best part about this recipe is that I already have all of those ingredients on hand! The worst part about this recipe is that I don’t have a doughnut pan and now I’m suddenly wondering if I can justify buying one………… ;)

Congrats to Kayla !
I am SO making these donuts Saturday morning !
Just need a donut pan like Melissa and Alison.
I wonder if they would be good as muffins ? My kids may not like them the same without the hole in the middle though :)
I have a great bran muffin recipe on my website…I think it’s vegan (is raisin bran vegan??) if you use almond milk and vinegar instead of buttermilk. www.healthymammas.com
Thanks Angela…always love your pictures and recipes…wish I could make every one you post (or move next door to you so I could sample!)

Doughnuts and cookie dough in one mouth-watering sweet treat. . . I am in a sugar coma just thinking about it! Sounds amazing. I might be tempted to just eat the glaze by the spoon and forget the doughnuts, though! :D

On another chocolate related topic, I felt like baking something the other day and I was scrolling through your recipes when I came across your Flourless Chocolate cookies. Oh my. For once I had all the ingredients at hand!

Yes, they are as good as you say they are. And yes, they’re even better the day after. Can’t even believe how yummy they taste and how simple they are to make, with very few ingredients and all of them pronounceable!! :)

Oh my goodness, you’ve done it again!! I thought the donuts yesterday were good but these ones…. WOW! And whole wheat makes them healthy, right? :P Congrats to Kayla – I bet you’ve made her a very happy girl this morning! :)

I won a $25 gift certificate to the Steamy Kitchen Shop…but they don’t ship to Canada. I’m giving it away on my blog:

I’m 100% certain a donut pan is going on our wedding registry…if I can hold out till then. ;)

Congrats to the blender winner! I actually just bought a Cusinart combination blender/food processor yesterday for an awesome price during a Woot Off on http://www.woot.com ! Finally I can make Green Monsters and hummus and pesto again!

Ooooh, creative doughnut flavor!! Love the last photo with the bite taken out. So far, I can’t get the Gf+vegan doughnuts to turn out and I don’t want to use 5 different flours + other weird ingredients. Maybe I’ll just try a mix of oat + buckwheat flour and hope it acts like whole wheat…w/o the gluten…haha…disaster in the making!!

Ashley, I have made gluten free vegan doughnuts plenty of times. I just use an all purpose gf flour blend. Then one I use the most is by Schar. I use a doughnut pan. They come out with a pretty good texture and consistency.

Well, I was starving BEFORE I read this post and now I’m only worse for wear! These look absolutely amazing. I don’t think I could choose between these and the pumpkin spice…would definitely have to make both :)

1) These look out of this world
2) I definitely thought it read “combine a delicious whole wheat doughnut +(“plus”) chocolate chips +(“plus”) mouth-(“minus”)watering cookie dough glaze”. hehehe. Plus mouth. I was wondering how you subtract a “watering cookie dough glaze”, and then the synapses in my brain remembered how to work.

Another awesome recipe. I have been following your blog for a couple of months now and I absolutely love it. Do you have any plans to release a cookbook, because I would buy it in a heartbeat. Keep up the great work!

I love incorporating any kind of protein into my baked treats! Especially with a nut butter. I can see how this would be really creamy and good b/c cashew flavor hides pretty well in most dishes (unlike PB), and make this cookie dough flavor! Genius. :)

My birthday was last month! So can we just make the creation of the doughnuts themselves the reason to celebrate??? The pumpkin ones already had me drooling but these look fan-flipping-amazing! Congrats to Kayla! My mom adores her blendtec :D

I am in LOVE with your website!!! Our family is new to the vegan diet & we were getting frustrated by the numerous cookbooks we tried! We have LOVED every recipe we’ve made of yours! Thank you so much for sharing!!!

Can I just tell you that I decided to make your choc chip cookie dough balls the other day for my kiddies. They were having a playdate with two other little ones and had been running in and out of the house all afternoon. I loved how quick and easy they were to make, a good thing, I found out. I let each of the kids try one and they LOVED them! I rolled the rest and put them on a baking sheet intending to put them in the freezer. Went to change laundry and when I came into the kitchen the pan was empty! How can I be mad at a bunch of little kids stealing a healthy treat? They were a hit and the other mom asked for the recipe too!
Thanks for giving me healthy snack ideas, now I just need to plant my own cashew tree in the backyard!

Oh dear. You’ve done it now, haven’t you? Each dessert is more decadent than the last…! This looks SO darned tasty! However… I will hold off on making it for the moment. Need a mini donut pan! That, and, thanks to your reply on my comment on your cinnamon sugar spiced donuts post, I think I’m going to try to make some cinnamon sugar soft pretzels… using the soft pretzel base from your itty bitty pumpkin garlic knots… (Must try those while I’m at it. I love garlic!)

I love love love how you manage to create desserts that are outstandingly delicious but way better [health-wise on top of taste-wise] to anything from a package!

Congrats to Kayla for winning that awesome blender! Hope she can enjoy green monsters on a regular basis, now. :)

Every day I wait for the email that comes from you!! Your recipes are all amazing, your conversation is wonderful and your pictures are divine! and you are gorgeous too!

I was wondering if you might be able to provide nutritional data on the recipes you post. Unfortunately, I do not have the time for the daily exercise that you do so I have to think 10 times before making one of your lucious recipes.

I ordered two doughnut pans yesterday from Golda’s Kitchen and they are out for delivery today. Now I have to try all the donut recipes on Oh She Glows… oh and give the second pan to my friend who told me about Oh She Glows!

I just made these, but modified slightly. I added 1/2c cacao powder in place of 1/4c of flour, since the bf loves the chocolate glazed donuts from timmies. Oh, and I don’t have pans, but in a previous donut post they seemed to turn out okay without pans….well they’re more like giant soft glazed cookies. I’m sure they still taste good! I need to get some of those pans!

Thank you Angela for mentioning Moe’s at Universal Orlando on your blog!!! I had dinner there and it was reallly good. Many vegetarian options.
Here is the link for my short review: http://vanillacocoberry.blogspot.com/2011/08/moes.html
xoxo!

Ok, so I made the chocolate chip cookie dough donuts yesterday but they were an epic fail. The apple cider vinegar curdled the soymilk, but I went ahead anyway. Then I must have overfilled the donut pan because they came out more like muffins instead of donuts. But, they did taste amazing! I am going to try again and not fill the donut pan so full this time.

That’s OK. I was just wondering because I like to calculate the nutritional info. on recipes before I make them for medical reasons. Normally I would be able to guess the quantity by looking at the ingredients, but I’ve never made a doughnut of any kind.

hello… thank you for sharing your recipe and i think its the best one. I would like to try the recipe but there is an ingredient that i do not know, the earth balance. is it a shortening or butter. i searched in the internet and what i understand its a brand name of a certain product. please let me know soon because i really eager to try your recipe. thank you so much. Ria

Did I already comment on this? I probably did
I am have ecstatic seizure looking at these photo
Vegan Donuts…such a fantastic concept
I understand they have such things for sale in Portland but there is no vegan donut shop near me here in Los Angeles
But these homemade ones look MAGNIFICENT
I really think you need to come to LA and tape a vegan cooking show…I would watch it every week…vegan dessert recipes in every episode oh yess haha:p

I’ve made these twice now and both times they came out just AMAZING!! I didn’t have a donut pan before so I made them into donut ‘bars’ the first time. Got myself a donut pan and my husband requested these for his birthday this weekend – which cracks me up, since he’s practically anti-vegan. Thanks again Angela, I’ve made more than 20 recipes from your site and every single one has been incredible!

The perfect thing for my 5 year old’s birthday as he requested something with chocolate chips! However, I did them as cupcakes since I don’t have a donut pan and they came out delicious! Thank you for helping me make a birthday dessert I can feel good about!

You have made a very delicious version of this common snack. It’s an awesome recipe!

I would have loved to see several recipes for pastries that are filled with some kind of filling, such as cream/jelly filled donuts, cream puffs, eclairs, and pastries filled with fruits or vegetables/herbs and/or vegan meat substitutes.

I know you come up with some very creative recipes that differ from their traditional versions, which is a good thing, but I would love to see your versions of traditional recipes as well.

Hi Adele, I’ve yet to land on a substitution that I’m really happy with (but I’m still trying!). Maybe try swapping out the whole wheat pastry flour for your favourite GF all-purpose flour as a first attempt. Good luck!
